We're finalizing our operating agreement now, and things should really be taking off quickly for me if he's serious about the amount of money he's going to be investing with me.

Raise Rents?
6 April 2008 | 12 replies
It doesn't make sense to me to have a tenant move out over a $25 rent increase and then have the place vacant for 60 days and need a couple of thousand in renovations.I never have any 20 year tenants, and if they stay that long, the landlord would have to raise the rent ocassionally to adjust for inflation.Rents here finally went up enough to notice, but now they are going back down, due to all the new houses that aren't selling so they are being put into the rental pool.

It's odd, I've had tenants with terrible "credit" who were the best tenants... and I've had them with 700+ scores who I was calling and mailing the 5th of every month, and had all types of trouble with.In either case, the best advice I can give, is when you finally end up with tenants, be TOUGH on them the 1st time they're late.

No wonder we are in a RE meltdown.Too many people are trying(& buying) that have NO money.Bad things happen guys.You need cash to smooth out the unexpected.2.I'm guessing 99% of the people here own NO RE.I have read only a few posters who i'm sure have real world experience3.Too many people jumping into RE blind.4.People who buy books,cd's,dvds & attend seminars are idiots.A few final thoughts...Bad things happen.You WILL buy a property with a HUGE unexpected problem.Plan for it.You will have a renter smear feces on the wall the day before eviction.You are the ENEMY in almost every tenants eyes.
